Description

Situated in the historic village of Sudbury Derbyshire, The Gasworks has been recently restored, with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund and is now managed by Sudbury Gasworks Restoration Trust, a registered charity in the UK. The Gasworks is not your normal wedding venue. Your booking helps to ensure the charity can continue to look after this important historic building for future generations to enjoy. It also supports the trusts charitable objectives including, combating rural isolation and supporting people in improving their health and mental wellbeing. When you book your wedding with us you have exclusive hire from Friday midday until Sunday midday. We want your wedding to be as relaxed as possible and to give you and your suppliers time to set up and pack away. Perfect if your wanting to DIY your decor or if your suppliers are creating show stopping installations and need extra time to get it just right. The Gasworks is a blank canvas with an industrial yet modern feel throughout the building. The round reception hall, built on the footprint of the former gasholder, is very industrial in construction with dark metal and off white wood cladding. The retort room, in the original part of the building, is bare brick walls with a replica retort bench in situ, a great talking point for your guests. The Gasworks also has an outdoor courtyard, lawn and small woodland area. If you would like to find out more book please contact us to book a visit.
